Transport ministers from the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia met on Monday to discuss changes to the European Union' plans. "The proposal needs changes urgently," German transport minister Volker Wissing said on Monday.

Wissing said the scepticism about phasing out internal combustion vehicles were shared by Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic, among others. He added that the group of countries wants a separate category of combustion-engine cars that could run on synthetic, carbon-neutral fuels, after 2035. "A ban on the combustion engine, when it can run in a climate-neutral way, seems a wrong approach for us," he said.
